Quick Information
Located six miles northeast of Tazewell on Cave Springs Road, the Echoes Acres Farm became a Century Farm in 2001. In 1865, the property was established with 243 acres reserved for the production of corn, hay, vegetables, fruit, cattle, horses, and hogs. In 1975, the great great granddaughter of the founder aquired the farm. She and her husband grew many of the same crops that the previous owners had grown. Using the abundant timber from the farm land, they built a ranch house in 1984. In 1985, the couple started the hobby of collecting and grafting old apple trees onto semi-dwarf root stock. These apples are not grown for market, instead they are produced to preserve the old varieties of apples. Today the farm continues to produce many agricultural products and has many structures on the land.
